Obama “We Didn’t Know How Bad it Was” – Obama has a Short Memory

President Obama said yesterday that when he took office that they just didn’t know how bad the economy was, and therefore, didn’t prepare the people properly for the hard economic times ahead.

“I think we understood that it was bad, but we didn’t know how bad it was,” Obama said in an interview with KIRO in Seattle. “I think I could have prepared the American people for how bad this was going to be, had we had a sense of that.”

It appears that the president has a very short memory. He hadn’t even taken office when he was warning of disastrous consequences if a stimulus package wasn’t passed. [Emphasis mine]

With that, Mr. Obama began the first nationally televised appearance of his new role. Since Election Day, he had been seen only in faraway shots as he dashed from the gym or walked to a meeting. But when he arrived at a hotel ballroom here, flanked by a team of economic advisers, Americans caught their first glimpse of the 44th president at work.

“I do not underestimate the enormity of the task that lies ahead,” Mr. Obama said, his voice slow and controlled. “Some of the choices that we make are going to be difficult. And I have said before and I will repeat again: It is not going to be quick and it is not going to be easy for us to dig ourselves out of the hole that we are in.”

Mr. Obama called on Congress and the Bush administration to pass an economic stimulus package. If an agreement cannot be reached this month in the lame-duck Congressional session, he said, it will be his chief goal when he takes office on Jan. 20.

He said it was an “urgent priority” to extend unemployment insurance benefits for workers who could not find jobs in the bleak economy. He also said he would give aid to states, create new jobs and move forward with his tax-cut plans for middle-class families.

He got everything he wanted and the economy got worse. Now he wants to do more of the same. If he gets his way, what do you think will happen?

Strolling down memory lane, wasn’t the Bush admin, even as late as Oct 2008, telling us that the economy was on “solid ground”?
And this would have been after 8 years of inside knowledge verse Obama’s knowledge of “when he first took office”.

I realize that facts like these deter your hate fest agenda and you cannot rationally counter as it once again exposes your dishonesty. So, the only tool you have is to continue to spew your gibberish, ignore facts, click dislike and return your head in the sand, only to rear your head again with more asinine gibberish before going back to the sand. Kinda like a rinse and repeat thing.

Well, cincy, I suspect resorting to trite and childish retorts (sort of takes me back to my elementary years when some kid’s rebuttal would be something like “uh, yeah,,well, your mom wears combat boots so take that!!!) when you have no credible argument is another option.

If you could only see how delusional you really are. Once again you try the Alinsky Rules for Radicals approach. It won’t work on me and it’s not going to work come election time. Bush may have been sort of a dufus, but Obi One idea of fair share is, to drain Americas’ wealth and give to delusional people such as your self.

You wouldn’t know a fact if it slapped you in the face. Crawl back to the swamp and STFU!

As you lefties liked to say while Bush was president, “who’s president NOW?” That would be Obama. The incompetent that you idiots voted in to office, who spends his time playing golf, attending parties, and campaigning. He’s never held a real job, and in completely over his head. The economy didn’t start tanking till Democrats took over Congress.

But, we know you lefties always refuse to take the blame for what are completely worthless and fail-worthy policies. They never work. And you always want Someone Else to pay for them. You never put your own money where your mouths are.

This was the line Bush used over and over again during his incompetent administration. At least Obama reacted and prevented a depression. Had the GOP allowed a larger stimulus like Obama wanted, the economy would actually be growing now. But the GOP really don’t want the economy grow. They’d rather see average Americans lose their jobs and their houses before they see a success by Obama or the Dems so they can retake the White House with lies and sell and completely destroy the middle class.

So this is his excuse for giving the hatchet to the economy and teying to shift the blame to the Republican Party?
Now that he has fesses up to being clueless, is he going to approve the Canadian pipeline project, stop Obama Care, and reign in his bulldog agencies (EPA, FDA, DEA)?
If he now knows, why is he putting off many important decisions until after the elections?
Or, are they all carrots to be dangled before voters?
He has no substance to run on, so why not stall his decisions until after the 2012 election?
Make sure to vote in the 2012 election, or we will become the Mexico of the North American continent!!

It wasn’t Bush. Read some history. See if you can get lunch with Bill Clinton, offer him a bimbo in exchange for his confession, and see where it takes you. He blurted it out before the left shut him up and shipped him to Siberia until he memorized the party line.

You say those who watch Fox News, need to turn it off. Oh and MSNBC must be your preferred channel. Do everyone a favor liberalmann, pull your upper lip over your head, then SWALLOW. You will look better. Once again liberalmann you prove what a Douche Nozzle you are. Delusional is the correct term in your case.
